Nothing has released only one smartphone thus far, the Nothing Phone (1). The Nothing Phone (2) is expected to launch this year. Some of you may wonder if Nothing plans to launch a foldable smartphone, well, while we can’t answer that yet, a Nothing foldable smartphone concept did surface.

This Nothing foldable smartphone concept has LED lights on the hinge itself

This concept has been shared by Brandon Paul aka 3DPCat/BitJewel, and was reshared by Nothing on Twitter. He created some nice-looking renders, envisioning a Nothing-branded foldable smartphone.

The first thing I personally noticed are the LED lights in the first image included in the gallery below. These LED lights are placed on the outer part of the hinge itself. One long strip, and a smaller circular light. These make for really nice design detail.

This foldable device has flat sides all around, and the hinge itself is also boxy and unusual. The device seems to be impossibly thin when folded, but that’s not surprising considering this is a concept phone.

There is no display camera hole on the main panel

It seems to be made out of metal and glass, and there is no display camera hole on the main display. We presume that the designer envisioned an under-display camera for this phone. The bezels around the main display are also quite thin.

Nothing is a rather new company, and it probably has no plans to release a foldable smartphone anytime soon. Who knows, Nothing maybe is testing such a device, but we don’t expect it to arrive soon.

The company is now fully focused on the Nothing Phone (2) which is expected to arrive in a couple of months. The Nothing Phone (1) launched in July last year, so it’s easily possible its successor is coming in July this year.
